The Cougars are off to a 3-0 start in coach Tom Herman’s first year leading the way. Herman calls his linemen “gladiators,” according to Niki Noto Palmer, and treats them like royalty.
Here’s Palmer with a story about how Herman moved some boosters to make room for his O-line:
Herman has been very vocal the big fellas getting things done in the trenches will be the driving force behind his team. And for that reason alone he, his coaches, his players and so on will treat them like first class. The offensive and defensive linemen are first in line before others, no matter what they’re doing [eating] or where they’re going [away games].
